The Colorado Avalanche pulled off another come-from-behind win in their last outing against the Carolina Hurricanes. After trailing 3-1 after the first period, Colorado scored three-unanswered goals to collect their seventh win of the season. Zach Redmond had himself a night, scoring two goals which brought him up to six points on the season. Colorado is on the road tonight as they take on the Arizona Coyotes.

What: NHL Preview – Game 22: Colorado Avalanche (7-9-5, 19 points) vs. Arizona Coyotes (9-11-2, 20 points)
When: Tuesday, November 25th
Where: Gila River Arena (Glendale, Arizona)
Time: 9:00 PM EST, 7:00 PM MST
TV: Altitude Sports

This game is a must-win for Colorado, considering they play the Chicago Blackhawks at home Wednesday night on a back-to-back. In Colorado’s comeback 4-3 win over Carolina, Nathan MacKinnon recorded a trio of assists, upping his point total to 16 on the season. Hopefully that’s a good sign for he and the club moving forward.

Reto Berra looked rough in the first period, allowing three goals on ten shots. Patrick Roy would then pull Berra in favor of Calvin Pickard who came in and stopped all 17 shots he faced. Even though Pickard picked up the win and looked solid, Roy will give Berra the ‘benefit of the doubt’ and start him Tuesday vs. Arizona.
